Apple Cornbread


A different twist on corn bread, this is sweet and very moist. It's been a favorite with hubby and the kids around here for years. If you dice the apples very finely, they almost disappear into the batter; leave them larger for chunks of fruity flavor. This is also good with cinnamon mixed into the batter (i usually do that more for a breakfast/brunch than dinner). Originally submitted by nancy kirkland in a church cookbook from maryland.
